Voted in favor, 3-0-0. <br />8:05 PM- CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS: 1 Hamden Street <br />Datalink Communications & Sunsations are the applicant. <br />Representing the applicant are Eric from Datalink Communications and Luke <br />Hovland from Classic Signs, Inc. <br />Luke explains the sign application. The corporate client is Nextel. The owner of <br />Sunsations is a sub-dealer of Nextel. <br />They wish to advertise both the Sunsations tanning salon and Nextel dealership, <br />which will be sharing the interior space at 1 Harnden St. <br />The proposed sign on the front of the property is 59 square feet. There is a Nextel <br />corporate logo they are required to use. The material is made of polyurethane. <br />The burgundy background on the proposed sign is 1", high-density <br />polyurethane, as is the lettering. Luke distributed pictures of other projects in <br />locations such as Bedford that are similar to what the applicant is proposing. <br />They are expanding the color of the trim. The proposed colors will include <br />orange, white and burgundy. <br />They want to add a three dimensional look to the sign. <br />There has to be the right color combination to achieve the desired effect, as <br />proposed in the application. <br />Luke explains that signs flush on the building were considered but the effect was <br />not as desirable. <br />The proposed sign on the front side will be 32' in length. <br />C:\My Documents\ CPDC\Agenda-Minutes\ CPDC Minutes 3.10.03.doc <br />Last printed 04/14/03 7:35 PM <br />
